The 7 day outlook is looking decent. Mostly high 20's and lower 30's the rest of the week! No more cabin fever!

It's funny you say old fashion winter. My dad and I were driving through Portage the other day, and he was commenting on how much snow there was on the ground. He said I feel like a kid again. He was telling me that when he was growing up in the 60's and 70's all this snow was quite common. I hope your right about the summer. It would be nice to have a cooler summer with the majority of it being 70's would be nice!!  |

I was born in 60's so know those years good. We need the moisture so this is good.
70-75 degree's be good as i cannot handle heat.

Spring? What is this "spring" you speak of? I have never heard of a thing called "spring." Is it a season?

We haven't made maple syrup in a few years and I have a feeling that this year might be a good year for it.

I have family up in Westboro and Medford that market there own syrup. They said the last few years have been kinda tough. I haven't heard them complain about all the snow. So it must be doing them some good.  |

Last year was ok on tapping tree's should be starting soon have not heard as kids go help out my 11 year olds friend. They get $20.00 for 6 hour day of making bags and helping hang and free syrup so they love it. Not seen bags hanging yet but if no pipeline in woods gonna be a pain carrying buckets and such til get a trail established. Now keep winds down warm days frosty nights and let it flow! I know my maples not leaking yet.

It is still a few weeks away. But I am hoping with the snow cover we might get some decent sap running.
